성황의 아이들 [2]

235. Defensive Battle (8)

Among the objects in the normal world, many of which were known to have utility even in the real world, mostly operated according to simple algorithms.

For example, consider 'heart of ice'.

Would people in the real world be able to guess the purpose of this complex object that cannot even be seen without spiritual eyes?

In that sense, the 'magic items' piled up in the imperial palace treasury also had a simple operation method.

Things that can be used simply with just a little thought. In short, they are objects that can move only with 'origin'.

The night before.

While searching through his spiritual eyes the items he had from the normal world, Seongjin naturally took a closer look at the items his brothers and sisters had gifted him.

〚Luminous stone: A stone that generates as much light as the user desires〛

〚Heating stone: A stone that generates as much heat as the user desires〛

An extremely simple operating principle that just happens as much as you wish.

Therefore, even people who do not have spiritual eyes would have been able to use it freely until now.

So what is the range of 'as much as the user wants'?

Since there is no separate temperature setting scroll, it was necessary to be clear about its limitations.

So Seongjin first tested it with a rock that Sisley gave him. I pictured in my mind the lowest and highest temperatures imaginable.

First of all, in the case of the heating stone, it did not become colder than room temperature. Well, if it had the function of lowering the temperature, it wouldn't have been a heating stone.

'Then what about high temperature?'

Then, a lava pool instantly formed around the heating stone placed on the ground. Even Seongjin, which I had secretly assumed would be the case, was even the flagship.

'... 'There are no limits at all?'

And the same goes for the luminescent stone tested subsequently. I was afraid that there might be radiation beyond ultraviolet rays, so I stopped the test halfway through.

'The only thing necessary for things in the normal world to move is [conditions].'

Seongjin thought as he rolled the stone in his hand.

Anyway, since it worked, there was no longer any point in worrying about what the energy source was or how it worked.

Meanwhile, the Margrave and his party were busy talking about the upcoming battle.

"Is that what Lord Ilma thinks?"

"Yes, matriarch. Until now, it felt like we were assessing this side's strength before launching an all-out war. But won't the next conflict be different?"

"Take advantage at night. It's a simple idea without a strategy, but it's also very clear. It's hard to believe that you're dealing with ignorant beasts."

"They have already shown cleverness in using Glatzer Trolls to cross the ice wall. Also, through two engagements, didn't we see how perfectly they are under control?"

Then Hendrick Sigismund rubbed his temples with a tired look.

"Yes, that's right. Is it because of the existence of the Lycan Slope Lord that was observed earlier?"
